That's the issue for me. I like the taller gears, but I also like a nice shifting gear box. The SS 5MT is anything but smooth. Maybe a new gear set would fix that.....but I don't know.

Stock shift knob? Mine sucked until I replaced it with a $.95 wood knob and it feels notchy, but alright. Fits the character of the car. Kind of like banging a bony chick which certainly beats the old shift feel that was like wearing two condoms and one of those Mormon sex-suits.

Its hard to say. The 6mt has double cone syncros all around except 2nd, which has a triple. Forced oiling is nice too.Legacy777 wrote:That's the issue for me.

the "cone synchros" refer to cone clutches on the synchronizers for each gear, and I'm not really sure of what I'm talking about because I've never worked on transmissions so...
uh Phil, this is where you provide sweet visual aides, I mean, you did work at Gearboxtech

What do the Datsun 510 guys use for their big-power swaps (other than Ford 9in.)? Their OEM rear ends were R160s.

Doesn't the orange STi drift car use a Skyline rear end?

Is there any way to beef up a rear end without changing cases? Custom cut gears out of different material or such or would that be prohibitive? I'm not necessarily asking in regards to Subaru, but it's still a pertinent question.

R32 Skyline used a R200 diffDoesn't the orange STi drift car use a Skyline rear end?
maybe stronger gears Steve, they'd definitely be one off custom as I can't seem to find anything for the R160 with a quick search, I found that NISMO made race ring and pinions for R180 and maybe R200?
still though everyone seems to snap axles when going RWD, it seems that beefing up by upgrading the axle carrier also seems to entail stronger axle shafts
so theoretically, you can beef up the ring and pinion and axle shafts and put in a nasty quality diff until you make so much power you torque the case from it's mountings or break the damn thing
later STi R180s also have helical LSDs, while we're used to VLSDs in Leg Turbos, as the fluid in the VLSD heat cycles it loses its viscosity and the LSD becomes worthless, this doesn't happen with helical LSDs
so for our cars, due to the weight and torque of a modded Legacy Turbo, a newer STi R180 with the helical diff and beefed up axle shafts should be optimal for RWD
I'll try it next summer

The only thing with the helical R180's is that they are a 3.545, vs. the '04-05 3.9 clutch type. Helical diffs are nice, but I think that I want something that will lock when slipping happens, instead of a torque biasing rear diff. The helical needs some traction to be able to transfer the torque to the other wheel. If there is none, it acts like its open.
If you are spending your time on nothing but tarmac, a helical is great. If you want to have any fun on gravel or ice, then the clutch type rear diff would be advantageous. '
